After watching the bakayoko video, the only thing I saw that is not good is his sometimes unnecessary dribbles. Aside that, he is a very good buy considering his height, speed, strength and the price.

Assists Assists are judged not for the last touch but by the subjective view of the club statistician for a crucial part played in the goal. Hazard 16, Fabregas 15, Pedro 15, Diego Costa 10, Azpilicueta 7, Willian 7, Matic 5, Moses 5, Alonso 3, Kante 3, Batshuayi 2, David Luiz 2, Ivanovic 2, Loftus-Cheek 2, Ake 1, N Chalobah 1, Oscar 1, Zouma 1 Aids Aids are for important but not crucial parts played in the goal Hazard 18, Fabregas 15, Diego Costa 9, Pedro 8, Kante 7, Moses 7, Alonso 5, Batshuayi 5, David Luiz 5, Willian 5, Matic 3, Cahill 2, Loftus-Cheek 2, Oscar 2, Aina 1, Ake 1, Azpilicueta 1, N Chalobah 1, Ivanovic 1, Kenedy 1

raumdeuter:
Greatihex told us specifically about Neymars passing in the game and claimed



In the said game, Neymar was the best attacking player for Barcelona, So if Neymar had a terrible game, we can still see he was the best Barca attacker on the night

Greatihex told us Neymar didnt have more than 1 completed pass yet I showed evidence he had more than 10 completed passes that is a 10,000% exagerration

If you decide to be senseless about stats and analysis you shoudl expect to be called out

every sensible person will know that i was exaggerating, but I wanted to post a picture of how woeful neymar was that day.
But, raumdeuter, sometimes you don't always have to be ridiculous just to win a senseless argument.
If you decide to tell yourself that neymar performed well that day, that is your problem. But, know that the worst thing someone can do to himself is to lie to himself. I can't believe that a supposed football fan is saying what you are saying.

raumdeuter:
Below is the graphical analysis of Neymars performance in that game you told us about. The gree are the completed passes the red are the failed passes

WHen I count all the green arrow walahi they were just 1. I know squawka who gave this stat did not watch it from that viewing center you were, so they were probably lying

did you watch the match? If true, did neymar have a good performance? Please, don't tell me that he got an assist.

Theflash98:
how will neymar complete only 1 pass in a match?...baba,we no b mugu

oga, did you watch the match? If you had watched the match, you would know that what I said is not much an exaggeration.
All the Barcelona fans in the viewing centre was calling for the dude to be subbed.

If Chelsea allow man united to sign morata, na dem go suffer am o. Chelsea should not be stupid o.

Ibime:
I don't really follow.

All I know is DeBruyne played well yesterday and was the game winner. Several chances were created, but the keeper was in inspired form. I don't know what match Airmark was watching. He may have been talking about Carrasco, Fellaini and others, but as for DeBruyne, he was MOTM.

i didn't watch the match, but I was trying to point out how relying on goals and assists alone to rate a player can be very flawed.
One of the worst performances i have ever seen from neymar in a match was in last seasons champions league match between Barcelona and mochengladbach. Neymar could not complete a dribble, neither could he complete a pass, but he got an assist from his only completed pass. The goal was an equalizer, and Barcelona went on to win the game. If we are to judge with goals and assist, won't we say that neymar played well? This is the problem!.

Ibime:
DeBruyne assisted both goals in Belgium's 2-0 win yesterday. . . . just incase you thought different.

that is the problem.


There was a time last year when hazard was not playing well, but he scored the winning goal that got Belgium three points, yet the coach said he was their worst player. What did you say then?

In the world Cup, hazard assisted two winning goals that helped qualify Belgium from the group stage, what did you comment on his performance at the world Cup?

raumdeuter:
What brought about the hype of balotelli

the answer is in what brought about the hype of gotze and what is bringing about the hype of mbappe.

raumdeuter:
Thats because Zaha doesnt have the hype of Hazard, If Zaha had that PR hype machine behind him, he will also look good

there is something that brings about the hype, it doesn't just come. Great consistent performances is the answer.

raumdeuter:
Zahard premier league 18 goals + assists
Hazard Premier league 21 goals + assists

Zaha doesnt take penalties for Crystal Palace maybe if he took just 3 penalties he would have been level with Hazard

Lets not forget that Zaha plays for a castly inferior team

why then did Manchester United throw zaha out with all this his stats that are similar to hazard's? Why is it that big clubs are not falling over themselves to get his signature?
Dey there dey do hazard bad belle make dey busy dey win award every season.

Like I have earlier posited, I don't like lukaku. But, I don't care who Chelsea signs. What I know is, win ucl for me next season. Lukaku better not flop.

hensben:
Mou don't improve players rather he exhaust them for his self appraisal and ego.

this is the truth.
But, I still like the man for his ability to bring success and raise the winning mentality of a team.

In the second part of our exclusive
interview with departing skipper John
Terry, the club's most decorated player
speaks about the lessons he learned
from one of the all-time Chelsea greats
and looks ahead to returning to
Stamford Bridge as a supporter...
THERE WAS A TIME BEFORE ROMAN
ABRAMOVICH BOUGHT CHELSEA WHEN
FINANCES WERE NOT GOOD AND THERE
WERE SUGGESTIONS YOU WOULD BE ONE OF
THE PLAYERS SOLD JUST AS YOU HAD
BECOME ESTABLISHED BUT BEFORE
WINNING ANYTHING. THAT MUST HAVE
BEEN DIFFICULT.
‘I never in my wildest dreams saw myself
leaving Chelsea in that era. Okay, if you
were not being offered a contract at the club
you have to go but if you have a couple of
years left, the club can’t get rid of you so
even if they approached me and said we have
been offered this, I would not have gone.
'Honestly, it is as simple as that and I
promise I never even contemplated it once to
leave at that time. It was my club and that
was it, as simple as that. It was not about
money, I just wanted to play football for the
club that I loved.’
IS THERE ANY ADVICE THE 36-YEAR-OLD
JOHN TERRY WOULD GIVE THE 18 OR 19-
YEAR-OLD VERSION TO SPEED UP YOUR
DEVELOPMENT AS A PLAYER?
‘You know what, probably not really. I pretty
well have no regrets and looking back I
enjoyed my time at that age. And we had the
likes of Gianfranco Zola at the club with the
way he was looking after himself, whether
that be food or not drinking or going out
after games. I had grown up with the
mentality that you train all week, play the
game and then go out drinking and then go
again next week, but when the likes of
Franco came it was all about eating the right
food after training and that helped me as a
player back then.
‘I was quite close to Franco, I played golf
with him quite a bit and spent some time at
his house so I saw the way he lived, what he
ate, what he drank and he got me into
coffees rather than shandies after a game of
golf.
'I was very fortunate to be around someone
like him as a person, the way he gave time
to fans, got off the bus and signed a
hundred autographs in the pouring rain. It
was a good education for me.’
IN TERMS OF THE PIECE OF SILVERWARE
ITSELF, WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE OF THE
TROPHIES WON?
‘Champions League, it is just a lovely trophy,
but also because of just how hard over the
years it has been to win it. Two or three
years we should have probably gone on to
win it but we didn’t and that just goes to
show how hard and how big the competition
is.
'You are playing against the best players and
the best clubs in the world, so to test
yourself against the best is always nice and
to get over the final hurdle, even though I
was not playing, was still by far the best
moment of my career.
‘The Champions League trophy is wide, it is
big, but it is not as heavy as the Premier
League trophy.’
YOU HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO OUR ACADEMY
THROUGH THE YEARS. WILL THEY PRODUCE
ANOTHER CHELSEA LEGEND?
‘I think they will. I am confident they will. I
just hope it is sooner rather than later. We
have some really good boys and winning the
Youth Cup and the UEFA Youth League is
great but you want to see that progression
with them coming through. I think we will
see boys who are 17 or 18 and physically
good enough and can handle it play on loan
rather than play youth team football, and I
think that will serve them really well.
'Going on loan definitely did for me as a
young player. You go into dressing rooms
with real men where winning means
everything, bonuses mean paying the
mortgage, and there aren’t things you take
for granted. So if they can go out and get
50 to 100 games under their belt by the age
of 19 to 20, it will serve them well
definitely. To come through at the age of 17
or 18 you are going to have to be someone
really, really special.’
IN THE FUTURE YOU WILL HAVE THE
CHANCE TO WATCH GAMES AT STAMFORD
BRIDGE PURELY AS A FAN. WHERE WOULD
YOU LIKE TO SIT?
‘The Matthew Harding Lower I think. I have
had my four seats there for years anyway for
my family and I would love to go in there.
My banner is at that end and it means a lot
to me when I think of the memories. I
scored my first goal there and went running
to the fans. The one against Everton as well.
I love all the sections of ground for all
different reasons but that is where I would
like to go.’

'I remember in Jose Mourinho’s years he
was desperate for me to play or train when I
had a broken toe and a broken bone in my
foot. I had to have two injections in my toe
every day for a whole year, one before
training and sometimes the doctor would
have to come out and re-inject me because it
wore off in training if it was a longer
session than an hour. It was just a given for
me. I would do it again tomorrow because it
sounds crazy but you would give your life
for the football club when they have given
you so much over the years.’


Now i have confirmed what happened to Chelsea last two seasons and one of the reasons why mourinho never lasts long in a club. The players are used like machines. I have always thought this, but I just confirmed it.
The reason for this action from mourinho is simple, he never played the game professionally.

Today marks exactly five years since Chelsea completed the signing of Eden Hazard from French club Lille and the 26-year-old, who was named the club’s Player of the Year for the third time last week, has picked out some of his highlights from a wonderful 2016/17 season. Hazard, who was inspirational as the Blues secured the Premier League title, ended the campaign with a place in the PFA Team of the Season for the fourth time in five years. Speaking to the official Chelsea website the Belgian, who scored 17 goals, selects some his favourite strikes as well as choosing the most impressive team performances and best moments. FAVOURITE GOALS West Ham at home 'It’s always good to win the first game, especially at home, and this was a very tough match which we won late thanks to Diego’s goal. I’d missed a penalty the season before so I was glad to score and it’s always nice to get on the scoresheet in the first game. It was a key moment for myself and the team.' Man City away 'It was an important goal in a fantastic win. I have to say we were a little bit lucky because they missed a lot of chances. I felt tired at the end of the run but when you score you want to celebrate and the Chelsea fans were right in front of me. When you are one-on-one with the goalkeeper it's not easy but I was confident because I knew exactly where I was going to put the ball. It was a good finish, game over.' Arsenal at home 'It was a fantastic goal at home against a rival. We lost the away game so it was good to get revenge, we did well and it was a beautiful goal. I can score with long shots but I prefer these type of goals, like the ones against Tottenham and Liverpool last season, when I dribble past some players. That’s what I’m known for.' Tottenham at Wembley (FA Cup semi-final) 'This was important because it helped take us to the final and it was my first goal at Wembley. It came at an important time because at 2-2 you never know which way it will go. I came off the bench to score and then Nemanja scored an unbelievable goal so it was a good night for us.' TOP THREE GAMES Everton at home 'We won 5-0, it was an unbelievable performance from the team and I scored two goals which was nice.' Man United at home 'Pedro scored in the first minute which was a big help. When that happens if you are able to control the game you can win easily because your confidence is high and the opponent is a bit flat. N'Golo Kante also scored a very good goal in this game, his first for the club.' West Brom away 'The game wasn’t good, or easy, but it didn’t matter because we just needed to win. Michy Batshuayi came off the bench to score the winning goal and we were able to celebrate with the fans after. A special night for all of us.' If you are not automatically redirected, click here. TOP THREE MOMENTS Michy Batshuayi 's title-winning goal at West Bromwich Albion 'It was a big moment for him to come off the bench and score such an important goal, and obviously it won us the league, so I have to choose this one.' Signing N'Golo Kante 'N'Golo was such an important player for us this season and he deserved all of the awards he won. It was like playing with an extra man sometimes.' John Terry's goodbye in our last home game 'It's been a privilege for me to play with such a legend for five years and it was an emotional day for us all when JT played his last game and said goodbye to the fans.' www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/06/hazard-s-highlights.html

@Nihilist, Thank God you are still alive. You are yet to fulfill your purpose in life.

If Chelsea can't keep their best players, how can they win the Champions league.
Chelsea will never allow hazard to leave, especially this time that top teams have decided not to sell their top players.

raumdeuter:
What this means is that there's a very big chance hazard sits on the bench at Madrid despite his transfer fees because of his lack of focus monkey post mentality football

If James can sit, if Morata can sit, if Dimaria can sit then who's hidden hazard

how is isco who is playing better than hazard?

Tval:
Hazard has changed his tone, he now wants the move after Real's win yesterday night.

any source?

raumdeuter:
Morata is on the bench, James bought for 80m dey sit for bench, Bale bought for 90m sat on the bench yesterday.

Even lvg benched record signing DiMaria after a while

Madrid will buy hidden a big couch to fulfill his destiny on the bench

for the records.
Bale never sits on the bench when fully fit.
James started playing in Madrid immediately he was signed but lost his place after he started to under perform. It was still the same thing with di Maria at United. Be well informed.

raumdeuter:
hazard bench who in Madrid?

he will bench the player that is playing in the position that Madrid feels they need £100m to get a better football.
He will bench the player that is not among the top three players in the world for Zidane.

I was wishing for juve to win this final so that Madrid don't have to win it back to back, but I was the same time relishing the prospect of watching a man utd vs Madrid super cup.
Mou, go wan reduce the Zidane hype. I would love to see see how he stops this Madrid team.
Mou the winner.

Chelsea win champions league for me next season oooooooo. Better thing dey sweet me too oooo

lordfalcao:
this Madrid team was not built in a year nor two. It will take Chelsea a lot to be on this level

a day begins a story. They should start from somewhere.

nateevs:
After all done, you still have Bale to bring on. Who can stop these guys?

Se our board can see. This is where we want to be.

exactly. I don tire to dey watch other teams for finals.
My worry na this one wey dem no wan sign any better player. No reasonable rumours. I don talk, next season na ucl trophy or nothing.
I hope say conte dey watch wetin dey happen, make him no go do like em brother wey lose two ucl finals in three years. I no go accept am o.
Heeerrrr!!

www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/10900477/alves-barca-still-in-my-blood

What an interesting read. Pep must really be a genius judging from Alves testimony and description.

bigkesh:
Everyone is signing superstars


Our board is a very useless group of ambitionless gays

We have not made a marquee signing in 3 years and in that time we have a net spend of over 150m,the second most expensive shirt deal in PL and 2 PL trophies which means huge money


WTF is this?? For that fee we should be interested in signing Auba
Roman has been very very disappointing of recent,not happy with him at all.....What exactly is his problem?

i tire

raumdeuter:
Is that game a word cup final or a CL final? This is one of the effect of half education

was it not arsenal's most important match of the season?

According to Raumdeuter's logic; Per Mertersacker played well in Arsenal's most important match of the season, so he is better than all arsenal defenders this season.

logic
